WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 | WorldSkills Conference 2026
The 48th WorldSkills Competition will take place in Shanghai in 2026, 22-27 September 2026.
The WorldSkills Competition is the largest international event dedicated to technical and vocational skills. It provides a prestigious platform for members of WorldSkills to demonstrate excellence in their professions. Organized every two years, the upcoming 48th edition, WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, will continue this proud tradition. A country or region’s performance at the Competition is often seen as an indicator of its economic capability, technological advancement, and overall commitment to skills development. Many developed nations, particularly those with strong manufacturing sectors, place high strategic value on the event, which enjoys substantial government backing and widespread public interest.
As a flagship global event in the field of skills, the WorldSkills Conference 2026 will connect policy with practice through a dynamic and future-oriented programme. Designed to be both innovative and impactful, it aims to serve as a landmark gathering that builds international alignment, inspires new ideas, and contributes to a sustainable future for skills. The Conference will convene policymakers, government representatives, industry experts, educators, and youth from across the globe to discuss key issues in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), exchange perspectives on global skills development, and examine how skills can drive progress in a rapidly changing world.
